Sections 33A and 88 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 provide for the payment of a fixed penalty to discharge any liability to conviction for the waste (including littering and flytipping) and littering offences under sections 33 and 87 respectively of that Act.

This Order increases the fixed penalty under section 33A from £50 to £200, and the fixed penalty under section 88 from £50 to £80.

A business and regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for this Order as no impact upon business is foreseen.
